The 7 Deadly Sins Of Self Development

I don’t suppose there really are any deadly sins with self development, I was being overly dramatic with the title.

But there certainly are areas where I see people make the same mistakes again and again and again, and you don’t have to be one of them

If that is, you avoid the following 7 self development deadly(ish) sins:

1: Thinking Being Hard On Yourself Is The Best Way Forward

I have been beating

How Do I Meditate?

Life Coach meditating

In my previous post ‘What Is Meditation?’ I hopefully debunked some of the myths about meditating that may stop you from engaging in something that has been scientifically proven to improve health, cognitive function, happiness levels and even lengthen life.

I may not know you, but I’m pretty sure there’s nothing in the above list that you wouldn’t like more of.

Let me take things a stage further to show you how serious I

Reverse Engineering Your Brain

I must admit to being a bit of a zealot when it comes to the correct use of language in a Life Coaching environment.

I wrote an entire post, subtitled Stop Whyning, on the reasons the word ‘why ’as the first word in a question is almost never useful in a coaching environment, with the possible exception of discussing core values.

It’s also the reason I almost always point out when clients are using

Before I get to todays guest post I just wanted to give you the heads up on a couple of things.

Firstly, my good friend Vlad Dolezal relaunches his blog Alive With Passion today. Vlad has guested for me on more than one occasion and I’ve no doubt that his new look blog will be worth checking out.

My latest self development ebook, Aligning With Your Core Values is now available on Amazon.

I will delve into a couple of previous posts from a year or two ago, so forgive me if there is some overlap, but worry not there are plenty of lovely juicy new myths to get your teeth into.

Self Development For Kids

Life Coach teaching kids

The biggest dream I have is to be invited by the US Government to advise on teaching self development in schools.

Rather ironically, I had an actual dream recently in which that happened and I was given the keys to the school system and an unlimited budget.

I can’t actually remember much more of the dream, other than the President at the time was Charlie Sheen and Sarah Palin his Vice-President.

That seems highly

Confessions Of A Life Coach

Life Coach taking pills

Ok, so let me be upfront about this post. It’s very self-indulgent.

However, I think there’s an interesting message in the story you’re about to read and I hope you find it helpful.

On the other hand, if you think a Life Coach talking about medical issues (again) is a bit strange and/or boring, then read no further because that’s what I’m about to do.

If you didn’t read my post The Medical History

How Often Is Urgent Really Urgent?

Life Coach caught speeding

I’m no stranger to stress. In fact without the intense debilitating stress that I inadvertently let creep up on me when I was in sales, I would never have trained to become a Life Coach in the first place.

That stress has tried to return uninvited and in full force this month with a succession of whatever can go wrong will go wrong moments, both to myself and people very close to me.

Fortunately
